Wipro GE Healthcare has recalled approximately 138 Giraffe and Panda iRes Warmers due to incomplete electrical safety testing during the manufacturing process. These radiant warmers are used in hospitals to provide infrared heat to newborn babies who cannot regulate their own body temperature. While the devices include multiple safety protections, the lack of complete testing means some units may have electrical leakage that exceeds safe international standards. Consumers should identify if their unit is affected and contact GE HealthCare for further instructions.
The incomplete testing creates a risk that electrical leakage current could exceed safety limits, potentially leading to an electrical shock hazard for patients or healthcare providers. No injuries or specific incidents have been reported in the provided data.
